The public hearing notice, as published in the Forest Lake Times, was read by
Mayor LaValle.
Attorney Johnson was requested to provide a background of how and why Hugo was re-
quired to submit a Comprehensive Plan. Because of legislation enacting the Land
Planning Act, each community and local government unit is required to prepare a
Comprehensive Plan in conformance with this Act. The City of Hugo must submit their
proposal to the surrounding communities, and has until July 1 , 1981 , in which to
prepare a final plan to be submitted to the Metro Council.
Washington County Planner stated that the plan that has been prepared by the City
Council and Planning Commission is plan that is responsive to the interests of
the public, and does a favorable job in handling specifics for the next few years.
The proposed plan fits into what Washington County is interested in, and endorsed
the city's efforts..
Joe Marier was the only resident from the City of Hugo present for the public hearing.
Engineer Kuusisto was requested to comment on the proposed plan as it relates to the
sanitary sewer. Mr. Kuusisto stated that the original Comp Plan included a compre-
hensive sewer plan that was to be used as a guide for growth pattern within the city.
The plan has served the City well through the change in times, and has met with the
approval of the Metro Waste Control Commission at this point in time. On-site septic
system *is addressed in the proposed plan on page 56.
Joe Marier commented that the reason for lack of interest in the public hearing was
because the people are satisfied that their government officials are serving the
community according to their desires.
